Quick Release Device for a Slide Track

Abstract

A quick release device for a slide track includes a frame having an abutment section. A positioning seat is fixed to the frame and has a fixing section located adjacent to the abutment section and a first sleeve. A plurality of positioning devices is mounted to the fixing section and extends beyond the abutment section. A retaining member includes a base having first and second sides. At least one arm extends from the first side of the base and includes a hook. A second sleeve and a limiting portion are formed on the second side of the base. An axle is pivotably received in the first sleeve and the second sleeve to pivotably connect the retaining member to the positioning seat. An elastic element is pivotably mounted to the axle and includes two tangs respectively attached to the positioning seat and the limiting portion of the retaining member.

1 . A quick release device for a slide track, comprising:
 a frame including a positioning portion, with an abutment section extending transversely from a side of the positioning portion;   a positioning seat including a connecting portion fixed to the positioning portion of the frame, with the connecting portion including a first side having a fixing section located adjacent to the abutment section, and with the connecting portion further including a second side having a first sleeve;   a plurality of positioning devices mounted to the fixing section of the positioning seat and extending beyond the abutment section of the frame; and   a retaining device including a retaining member, an elastic element, and an axle, with the retaining member including a base having first and second sides, with at least one arm extending from the first side of the base and including a hook, with a second sleeve and a limiting portion formed on the second side of the base, with the axle pivotably received in the first sleeve of the positioning seat and the second sleeve to pivotably connect the retaining member to the positioning seat, with the abutment section of the frame located between the hook and the positioning seat, and with the elastic element pivotably mounted to the axle and including first and second tangs respectively attached to the connecting portion of the positioning seat and the limiting portion of the retaining member.   
     
     
         2 . The quick release device for a slide track as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the hook of the engagement device includes an inclined guiding face. 
     
     
         3 . The quick release device for a slide track as claimed in  claim 1 , with the elastic element being a torsion spring and including a body and the first and second tangs extending from two sides of the body, with the connecting portion including a fixing plate, with the limiting portion of the retaining member including a fixing groove, and with the first and second tangs respectively coupled to the fixing plate and the fixing groove. 
     
     
         4 . The quick release device for a slide track as claimed in  claim 1 , with each of the plurality of positioning devices including a positioning rod having a first end fixed to the fixing section of the positioning seat and a second end, with each of the plurality of positioning devices further including a limiting rod connected to the second end of the positioning rod and a spring mounted between the positioning rod and the limiting rod, and with the limiting rod extending beyond the abutment section of the frame. 
     
     
         5 . The quick release device for a slide track as claimed in  claim 4 , with the limiting rod including a first section and a second section, with the first section having an outer diameter smaller than an outer diameter of the second section, and with the second section located between the first section and the first end of the positioning rod.
